On Wednesday (February 8), jurors witnessed for the first time shocking surveillance video that captured the murder of South Florida rapper XXXTentacion, who was shot and killed outside a Broward County motorbike shop in June 2018.

According to CBS News, prosecutors showed the silent and graphic video filmed by surveillance cameras, documenting the final moments of the 20-year-old artist’s life. He was allegedly killed during a robbery outside RIVA Motorsports while he sat in his i8 BMW, waiting to drive out of the business’ driveway.

Previous testimony reportedly revealed that X, born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, was carrying $50,000 in cash in a Louis Vuitton satchel, which he obtained from a local bank. Prosecutors say he had then intended to use the money to buy a motorbike from the shop.

Michael Boatwright, 27, Dedrick Devonshay Williams, 26, and Trayvon Newsome, 24, are three of the four alleged co-defendants facing charges of first-degree murder and robbery with a firearm. The fourth, Robert Allen, 26, already pleaded guilty to second-degree murder charges in August 2022. He spent most of the day on the stand telling jurors what happened in the moments before, during and after XXXTentacion was shot and killed.

During opening statements, the defense told the jury that they would challenge Allen’s account, with one attorney saying Allen essentially lied in order to spare himself a life sentence.

Allen told the jury that the four men agreed on June 17, 2018 to rent a vehicle in order to drive around and rob unsuspecting victims. "We had masks to rob people," he said, adding that they had guns in order to carry out their alleged crime spree.

Additionally, Allen said the idea to rent the car came from Williams, who was the alleged getaway driver, and that they happened to run across the rapper by coincidence.

The three co-defendants on trial could face life in prison if convicted. Authorities believe Boatwright was the assailant who allegedly fired the shots at XXXTentacion.
